Seriously though, imagine there was a shooting at every school in the US next week. Every single one. Do you think we'd be able to pass some legislation then? Of course we would. Because people would be feeling the pain.

I own several guns myself. I took my brother out shooting last week for his birthday. My mother has a whole safe full of guns. But when these kinds of shootings are happening, I don't see how anyone can justify owning a semi-auto gun for recreation purposes.

I think a ban on all semi-automatic guns makes a lot of sense and would do a LOT to decrease the chances of another school shooting ever happening in this country. You can still hunt and have target practice without a semi-automatic.

It takes empathy to put ourselves in the position of people who are victims of these shootings. Either that or we wait until there's a shooting at every school in the country so that everyone can feel the pain and finally understand. Otherwise, it's just someone else's problem.

Pretending CSS is not global is an illusion. That's how it was designed. It's global. All abstractions that pretend it isn't incur a cost. You might not have to think up front, but my bet is you'll think about it at some point. 😉
